The first designer I have to say is an inspiration to me and should be to others to is Paul Smith. Paul Smith is a fashion designer with a unique style developed over years of hard work and effort in his area of expertese. His signiture designs and individual clothing ranges are a result of finding a style that represents him successfully as a designer. When I walk into a shop which sells a range of branded fashion labels, a Paul Smith shirt will stick out clearly from the others because of its individuality in design and style.
With reference to his website, Pauls style developed completely by accident in a life changing event. His career plans at the age of 16 were undecided and his main passion in life was to become a professional racing cyclist. However, after an accident and a spell in hospital, Paul met some friends with a distinctive taste for art, including Warhol, Mondrian and the Rolling Stones. If I were to compare Paul Smiths work in the fashion industry with other artists, I would find the most vibrant and royal looking images, print them off and throw them to the floor in a pattern of colour and vividness, because Pauls ideas and designs are clearly founded in an era which set out the idea of individuality and difference.
Pauls story is an inspiring one, taking a small teenage idea into something which becomes a life changing career opportunity. His worj should inspire us all and show us that by creating something a little different in life which noone has ever seen or heard of, can become something which is huge and we all depend upon.
